Facts about CF: 

Cystic fibrosis is an inherited chronic disease that affects the lungs and digestive system of about 30,000 children and adults in the United States (70,000 worldwide). A defective gene and its protein product cause the body to produce unusually thick, sticky mucus that clogs the lungs and leads to life-threatening lung infections, and obstructs the pancreas and stops natural enzymes from helping the body break down and absorb food.

• About 1,000 new cases of cystic fibrosis are diagnosed each year.
• More than 70% of patients are diagnosed by age two.
• More than 45% of the CF patient population is age 18 or older.
• In the 1950s, few children with cystic fibrosis lived to attend elementary school.
• Today, the predicted median age of survival for a person with CF is in the late 30s.

A Cystic Fibrosis Story

Jason was diagnosed with Cystic Fibrosis at the age of 8 months. At age 26, Jason’s disease has progressed to the point that his doctor has presented him to be evaluated for a double lung transplant. His lung function has dropped from 80% to 23% in the last five years. At this rate of decline, the transplant is Jason’s only hope for survival. Some may consider this a time of despair, but Jason is only looking forward to his bright future. He and his wife, Geri, are currently in the in vitro fertilization process, as the medication that Jason will be taking after his transplant (for the rest of his life) will make having children impossible. They are looking forward to building a happy little family together.

Pre and post procedure costs will be over One million dollars even with good insurance in the first year. Please help lighten the burden on Jason and Geri by donating to this cause.
